The Remarkable Anti-Cancer Potential of Mushrooms

Biological mechanisms, epidemiological evidence, and clinical data support the use of mushrooms in cancer prevention and treatment.

Feb 08, 2025

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Recently, the entire MAHA movement was rightfully up-in-arms when Oracle’s Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer, Larry Ellison, pushed AI-generated cancer mRNA injections developed in 48 hours. The health freedom movement has grown tired of experimental gene therapies and seek safer, more natural approaches to cancer prevention and treatment. Dr. John Catanzaro, founder of Neo7Bioscience, has demonstrated the potential of precision-engineered peptides and small molecules for personalized cancer care. Dr. William Makis and many others advocate for the use of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in cancer treatment, which has shown extreme promise. Another promising but often overlooked approach in Western Medicine is the use of mushrooms for cancer. In this article, I will summarize the biological mechanisms, epidemiological evidence, and clinical data supporting the use of mushrooms in cancer prevention and treatment.

Biological Mechanisms

Pathak et al reviewed the immunomodulatory effect of mushrooms and their bioactive compounds in cancer:

Immunomodulation: Mushroom bioactive compounds, such as lentinan, schizophyllan, and maitake-D fraction, stimulate the immune system by activating macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, enhancing cytokine production (e.g., IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α) and increasing anti-tumor immune responses.
Cell Cycle Arrest: Polysaccharides and other phytochemicals in mushrooms can halt cancer cell division at key regulatory checkpoints, particularly the G0/G1 and G2/M phases, thereby preventing tumor proliferation.
Apoptosis Induction: Mushrooms trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells via both the intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (death receptor) pathways, leading to DNA fragmentation and caspase activation, effectively eliminating malignant cells.
Angiogenesis Inhibition: Certain mushrooms, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Phellinus linteus, block the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that tumors need for growth by downregulating VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation.
Oxidative Stress Regulation: Mushroom compounds like ergothioneine, glutathione, and polyphenols neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing oxidative DNA damage that contributes to carcinogenesis. (See link for article)

The top link will take you to a five part series with Dr. Trozzi. Part IV is the treatment and recovery section posted below.

Article Excerpt:

Part IV: Treatment and Recovery

Dr. Trozzi concluded with practical strategies to mitigate the effects of mRNA vaccines and support recovery. He emphasized the importance of both natural and medical interventions.

Enhancing Autophagy: Autophagy, the body’s process of clearing damaged cells and proteins, can be stimulated through:
- Intermittent Fasting: Restricting food intake to a 6-8 hour window daily.
- Extended Water Fasts: Periodic 3-day water fasts to boost cellular cleanup and regeneration.
Key Supplements:
- Nattokinase: An enzyme derived from fermented soybeans, effective in breaking down blood clots and degrading spike proteins.
- Bromelain: Found in pineapples, this enzyme reduces inflammation and targets amyloid structures linked to spike proteins.
- N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): An antioxidant that blocks spike protein binding and reduces oxidative stress.
- Curcumin: The active compound in turmeric, enhanced with black pepper extract (piperine) for greater efficacy.
Repurposed Medications:
- Ivermectin: Binds to spike proteins and neutralizes their effects.
- Hydroxychloroquine: Facilitates zinc entry into cells, inhibiting viral replication and modulating immune responses.
Holistic Health Principles: Dr. Trozzi recommended a “NEW START” approach:
- Nutrition: Emphasizing organic, nutrient-dense foods.
- Exercise: Promoting regular physical activity.
- Water: Staying hydrated with clean, fluoride-free water.
- Sunshine: Ensuring adequate vitamin D levels.
- Temperance: Avoiding excessive alcohol, smoking, and other harmful habits.
- Air: Benefiting from fresh, outdoor environments.
- Rest: Prioritizing quality sleep.
- Trust in God or Spirituality: Reducing stress and cortisol levels through faith or mindfulness.

Morgellons Treatment Insights

https://www.treatlyme.net/guide/morgellons-treatment-insights Video Here

Morgellons and Treatment: Insights from Marty Ross, MD

What’s Behind Morgellons

What’s happening: Morgellons, a condition marked by painful skin lesions and systemic symptoms, often faces skepticism. Dr. Marty Ross, a Lyme disease specialist, delves into the complexities of Morgellons, its symptoms, and potential treatment strategies.

Why it matters: Those affected by Morgellons struggle with symptoms that extend beyond the skin, often feeling dismissed by mainstream medical communities as having psychosomatic disorders. However, Dr. Ross uncovers critical links between Morgellons and Lyme disease plus tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia.

Reality check: The hallmark of Morgellons is the formation of sores and ulcers that can itch, burn, and produce black and other colored filaments—concentrated keratin fibers, not parasites. Laboratory studies confirm, the lesions and fibers are not caused by parasitic infections. Complicated further by co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia, over 90% of Dr. Ross’s patients with Morgellons also have Lyme disease or other underlying tick-borne infections which are the cause. In Marty Ross, MD’s opinion, Morgellons is a skin manifestation of Lyme and other tick-borne infecions.

The big picture: Connecting Morgellons to Lyme disease guides treatment strategies. By recognizing Lyme and tick-borne infections as the cause, Dr. Ross and other experts like Ginger Savely, DNP, aim to treat with a focus on managing these infections.

Go deeper with the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Diseases Protocol:

Follow the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Disease Protocol to recover from Morgellons.

Immune Support: Utilizes probiotics, curcumin, ashwagandha, and multivitamins for enhanced recovery.
Detoxification: Emphasizes toxin removal to alleviate symptoms.
Infection Management: Balances herbal and prescription antibiotics to tackle infections.

Zoom out with lifestyle: A plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet facilitates healing, with probiotics supporting gut health during antibiotic treatment. Prioritizing sleep, exercise, and stress management is pivotal for comprehensive recovery.

The bottom line: The Ross Protocol blends medical treatment with lifestyle changes, offering hope and effective recovery strategies for individuals with Morgellons and related conditions.

The Power Trio: NAD+, Glutathione, & Methylcobalamin in Lyme Treatment

https://www.lymedisease.org/power-trio-nad-glutathione-b12/

The power trio: NAD+, glutathione, and methylcobalamin in Lyme treatment

California’s Board of Pharmacy may soon restrict access to a variety of compounds that many Lyme patients find essential to getting well. This doctor explains why she thinks that’s a bad idea–and how you can take action to stop it. Sign the petition here.

By Pamela M. Davis, MD

If you’re dealing with Lyme disease or know someone who is, you’ve probably heard about NAD+, glutathione, and methylcobalamin. These compounds are generating significant buzz in the Lyme treatment community, and for good reason.

Let’s dive into what makes these treatments so promising and why they might be game-changers for Lyme patients.

Living with Lyme disease is like fighting a battle on multiple fronts. From crushing fatigue to brain fog, from joint pain to neurological symptoms, Lyme can feel overwhelming.

What makes it particularly challenging is how the bacteria affects multiple body systems simultaneously, creating a complex web of symptoms that can be difficult to address.

Enter the power trio

This is where our three heroes come in: NAD+, glutathione, and methylcobalamin. When properly compounded in sterile conditions (this part is crucial!), these substances work together to support your body’s natural healing processes. Let’s break down how each one helps.

Your cellular battery charger: NAD+

Think of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as your cells’ rechargeable battery. In Lyme disease, these batteries often run dangerously low. Here’s what NAD+ does:

Boosts energy production at the cellular level
Helps clear the mental fog that many Lyme patients struggle with
Supports your body’s repair systems
Helps regulate sleep cycles (which are often disrupted in Lyme patients)

Real talk: Many Lyme patients report feeling a noticeable uptick in energy and mental clarity within days of starting NAD+ treatment. Especially when it is given intravenously. While individual results vary, the energy boost can be significant enough to help patients return to daily activities they’d previously given up.

Your body’s master detoxifier: glutathione

If NAD+ is your battery charger, glutathione is your body’s cleanup crew. During Lyme treatment, your body deals with a lot of toxins, both from the bacteria themselves and from their die-off during treatment.

Here’s where glutathione shines:

Neutralizes harmful free radicals that cause inflammation
Supports your liver in processing and eliminating toxins
Helps reduce the severity of herxheimer reactions
Strengthens your immune response

Pro tip: Many Lyme patients find that glutathione helps them tolerate their primary treatments better by reducing side effects and detox symptoms.

Your nerve repair expert: methylcobalamin

This active form of vitamin B12 is particularly crucial for Lyme patients dealing with neurological symptoms.

Here’s what makes it special:

Directly supports nerve repair and protection
Helps improve brain fog and cognitive function
Supports energy production
Aids in mood regulation

The best part? Methylcobalamin’s benefits often become noticeable within weeks, particularly in areas of cognitive function and energy levels.

Better together: the synergy effect

While each of these compounds is powerful on its own, the magic really happens when they work together. Think of it as a well-coordinated team: NAD+ provides the energy; glutathione handles the cleanup; methylcobalamin repairs the damage. Together, they create a comprehensive support system for your body during Lyme treatment.

What makes this approach different? The key lies in proper compounding and administration. When these substances are prepared in sterile conditions and administered properly (usually through IV or injection), they can:

Reach therapeutic levels more effectively
Work more quickly than oral supplements
Provide more consistent results
Support your primary Lyme treatment protocol

Real-world implementation

If you’re considering these treatments, here’s what you should know:

They work best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan
Proper administration via IV or injection is crucial for effectiveness
Response can vary from person to person
Regular monitoring helps optimize results

Looking Forward: The use of these compounds in Lyme disease treatment continues to evolve, with new protocols and applications being developed. While they’re not a magic bullet, they represent a powerful tool in the Lyme treatment toolkit.

The bottom line

For many Lyme patients, the combination of NAD+, glutathione, and methylcobalamin provides valuable support during treatment. While they shouldn’t replace your primary Lyme protocol, they can significantly enhance your body’s ability to heal and manage symptoms.

Remember: Always work with a qualified healthcare provider who understands both Lyme disease and these compounds. They can help you determine the right protocol for your specific situation and ensure you’re getting the highest quality, properly compounded versions of these supplements.

Alarming developments in California

Recently the California Board of Pharmacy (BOP) has proposed limiting and/or completely blocking access to these life changing compounds. They are also looking to further reduce the number of credentialed compounding pharmacies operating in the state of California.

Because of the need to control costs and to keep these compounds fresh and protected from excessive heat in order for them to be effective, local pharmacies are key.

Firefighters in particular are making statements about their need to have easy access to glutathione to help their lungs recover after battling fires.

Please consider signing the petition to stop the pharmacy board from closing the very necessary compounding pharmacies and blocking access to these very effective treatments.

Dozens of vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, peptides, hormones and herbs that are legal, effective and needed by so many suffering with chronic diseases are also at risk of being banned by the California board of Pharmacy. Even if you are from another state, your opinion matters because where California goes many other states might follow.

You can give a public comment at the Board of Pharmacy meeting on November 7. You can either do this in person in San Diego, or online via WebEx. Go to StopTheBOP to learn more about this issue and how you can make your opinion known.

How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Dental Disease

How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Dental Disease

Many of those “incurable” conditions respond remarkably to DMSO

A Midwestern Doctor

Oct 31, 2024

DMSO can often significantly improve one’s vision, treat conditions such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and at times allow blind individuals to regain their sight. It is also often very helpful for sore and strained eyes and relieves excessive irritation and inflammation, along with many other eye conditions (e.g., cataracts).
DMSO frequently treats a variety of ear conditions such as tinnitus, hearing loss, airplane ear, and a variety of infections inside the ear (e.g., otitis media).
DMSO often is very helpful for sinusitis and a variety of infections of the nose and throat. Likewise, it is extremely helpful in dentistry, both for cleaning the mouth (e.g., by preventing bleeding gums), and by allowing the mouth to rapidly heal after dental surgeries.
In this article, I will review the evidence supporting each of those uses, along with the data demonstrating the safety of these methods of DMSO administration and instructions on how to do them.

DMSO is a phenomenally effective medicine that can treat a wide variety of common, debilitating, or incurable conditions, which allowed it to rapidly take the country by storm (as both the public and the medical community saw its results and rapidly embraced it). Unfortunately, the widespread enthusiasm behind something that completely changed medicine and allowed people to care for themselves independently was unacceptable to the FDA. For the next two decades, the agency went to incredible lengths to suppress it (e.g., it actively defied Congress for over 16 years) and eventually made DMSO become a Forgotten Side of Medicine.

Note: extensive data shows that DMSO is a very safe substance with negligible toxicity.

In turn, one of the truly ironic things about this was that many of those who attacked DMSO later needed it. For example, the pioneer of DMSO discusses how Former President Lyndon Johnson sought his help in 1971 —after his FDA commissioner had just spent almost three years weaponizing the FDA against anyone wishing to use DMSO (which in turn set the stage for many of the police-state tactics the FDA would illegally use against natural medicine in the decades to come).

Note: in the previous article I erroneously stated this conversation took place in 1981 not 1971 (at which point LBJ was deceased).

I have now received hundreds of unbelievable reports from readers (which can be read here) of what DMSO did for them—many of which are almost identical to what people reported fifty years ago before the FDA wiped DMSO off the map.

For context, the majority of those reports were for the most common uses of DMSO, such as chronic pain, acute injuries, and arthritis (discussed further here). However, as discussed here, DMSO is also immensely valuable for a variety of circulatory and neurological disorders (e.g., varicose veins, hemorrhoids, Down Syndrome, and Parkinson’s)—all of which readers here reported significant improvement from. Likewise, (as discussed here) DMSO also helps various autoimmune conditions.

In this article, I will focus on another group of conditions DMSO was found to be extraordinarily effective—those within the head.

Note: headaches were covered in a previous article and will not be discussed here. (See link for article)
